VALZAAR H 160 MG (Valsartan (160mg) + Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg))

Valzaar-H 160 Tablet combines two medications to effectively manage high blood pressure through various mechanisms. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to significant health risks, including heart attacks, strokes, and renal failure. This medication can be taken with or without meals, and the dosage will be tailored to your specific health condition and individual response to the treatment. Consistency is key; try to take it at the same time daily. It is crucial to continue using this medication until directed otherwise by your healthcare provider, as discontinuation can elevate the risk of serious cardiovascular events due to the silent nature of hypertension. The tablet contains a diuretic, which increases urinary output; therefore, it is advisable to avoid taking it close to bedtime to minimize nighttime bathroom trips. Regular use is essential for optimal effectiveness, even if you feel fine. While many users may experience dizziness as a common side effect, other less frequent effects may include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, headaches, and a drop in blood pressure. Frequent urination is a therapeutic effect due to the hydrochlorothiazide component rather than a side effect. Some rare adverse reactions can occur, such as increased intraocular pressure leading to potential vision impairment if untreated. Review the accompanying patient information leaflet for more details, and promptly discuss any persistent or concerning side effects with your healthcare professional. Adjustments to your dosing regimen or a switch to an alternative medication may be necessary. It is advised to avoid potassium supplements and salt substitutes unless prescribed. The use of this medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation, and individuals with kidney or liver conditions, heart disease, or diabetes should consult their doctor prior to use. Alcohol consumption can exacerbate low blood pressure and lead to additional side effects.
